The 9th-gen is basically an impulse buy right now

If you’ve been waiting to get the Apple iPad 9th gen, now’s the time to add it to your cart as it has dropped to its lowest price point yet. You can get the iPad 9th gen for a mere $199 at Amazon, down from its usual $329, making for a perfect Back to School splurge.

We reviewed the iPad 9th gen when it came out and enjoyed it enough to give it a four-star review. “When it comes to tablets, at least budget tablets, there’s iPad, and there’s everything else. The only real competition for Apple’s most affordable iPad (which starts at $329) are Kindle Fires and some deeply disappointing Android tablets that have retail prices in the $150 range and are often used as free giveaways when you buy service subscriptions or other more expensive tech gear,” we noted at the time.

The iPad 9th gen boasts a superb 10.2-inch Retina display, providing incredible detail and vivid colors. Whether you’re watching movies, drawing, or simply doomscrolling on social media, you’ll love this screen.

The A13 Bionic chip allows users to enjoy impressive graphics when playing, working, editing pictures, and so on, as well as multitasking by quickly swapping between apps.

For all those moments when you want to take on a call, the 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage will keep the focus on you even if you move around the room.

This is an exceptional price for a tablet that has so much to deliver, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better model for just under $200. So go ahead and order your very own iPad 9th gen for $199 at Amazon before the deal expires.
